Autumn in Cape Town – RX 100 photographs

ByDMcA

Cape Town March 2013 smallBack in the warm south thankfully.  Here are a few photographs of the area immediately around our place in the Southern part of the Cape peninsula.

 

 

 

 

It’s late summer here, a lovely time when the winds ease, and the days are long and languid.  This year I only brought the little RX-100 (no big Nikon or Sony this time), and below are a few of the first crop of shots, taken while walking around the place in the low evening light.  As usual, if you have Flash the photos are best seen in full screen (press FS in the bottom right hand corner), and in slide show ( press SL).  Titles can be seen by pressing the ‘i’ in the top right corner, and to get back here, press ESC.  If you don’t have Flash, i.e if you are using an Apple iPad/Pod/Phone, or a Nexus 7/10 tablet, or any Android tablet running 4.1 +, you can now see them as well.  Just click any of the thumbnails and a full screen slide-show should start.

      [singlepic id=2 w=534 h=400 float=left]This Spring in Cape Town I got back into serious photography after a lapse of many years.  My focus in the last 10 years or so has been in compact cameras – following the incredible recent technology curve of sensors and lenses.  My main interest was in capturing mountain panoramas,…

    Angkor temples

    ByDMcA

    Finally I have got round to processing and uploading the photos from Angkor Wat. First tranche is from the smaller temples around Angkor Wat itself. You should be able to see why I preferred these quiet and incredibly atmospheric places to the main attraction.

    ” Today’s photo:Gironde Carrelet at dusk. An evening long exposure shot around sunset, of one of the iconic fishing jetties, or ‘Carrelets’ on the banks of the Gironde. This lovely river flows into Bordeaux, and flanks some of the most famous locations in French wine. It is also home to little fish, rather like Whitebait,…
